Just bought my Nov-Dec issue of FLIQUE Magazine and was so excited like a child on Christmas morning, devouring page after page after page. Then we see our works featured in the magazine. "Thank you so much FLIQUE for the feature and the opportunity. I must say, Best Issue yet!!! Congrats and keep'em coming!!!"

P.S. As a bonus, just uncovered a photo of myself and Yen <3

We were there to show support to our dear friend Cherry Veric. It was raining the entire day but that didn't stop us from attending the event. Dressed to impress and headed to Prive at BGC. Was impressed with the collection that walked the runway that evening, truly showcasing WEALTH, ABUNDANCE AND OPULENCE.

We just have to be there and show support to the wonderful people of Flique...Moreover Yen and I were very much excited about this release since we have collaborated with them and we are excited to see the the finish product of everyone's hard work!!!

Without further delay...I am very much happy and excited to announce that Yen's pieces are part of the cover. We have designed the flouro animal print buttondowns that Megan and Lauren is wearing!!! This will be part of Yen and his Mogul's 2nd collection. Click HERE for Mogul.

The second our hands grab a hold of the magazine...we quickly scan through the pages. Just like a kid on Christmas morning!!! They posted what happened during the first launch party!!!

Can you believe it Yen and myself was awarded "Flique's TEEN DREAM OF THE NIGHT" for being the best dressed. Haha...till now I can't believe it happened since we never knew something like that would happen.

I just can't help it everytime I see Mother Becky Divine Lee. We were just entering Prive and when I saw her, I blurted out, "Hi Ms. Divine!!!" There is truly something about her that makes you feel warm and "kilig" at the same time. She complimented me of what I am wearing and that made my entire evening!!! I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!! LOL

Did you know that FADAL has a number of Project Runway contestants/ finalist? Before we had Jaz Cerezo, Cherry Veric, Santi Obcena. From Project Runway Philippines season 3, we have of course 1st runner-up Cheetah Rivera. I am a huge fan of Project Runway US and Philippines and the show was made sweeter  knowing someone like Cheetah made it on the show. Cheetah's won over the crowd with her sweet, loving personality and with her design prowess...landing her the 1st runner up title!!!

FADAL celebrated Cheetah's talent and success last August 4 at Izumi Bar at BGC, together with her closest friends and peers to celebrate this momentous event. :D

"Congratulations Cheetah!!! Truly deserving and in our hearts you are the winner!!!"
